i can’t remember what i used to do ,
who i trusted who i listened to before .

you’ve taught me everything i know .
can’t imagine needing someone so ,
but through the years it seems to me i need you more and more .

through the years , through all the good and bad , i know how much we’ve had ,
i’ve always been so glad to be with you .
through the years , it’s better every day . you’ve kissed my tears away ,
as long as it’s okay i’ll stay with you . through the years .

through the years , when everything went wrong , together we were strong ,
i know that i belong right here with you .
through the years , i never had a doubt , we’d always work things out ,
i’ve learned what life’s about , by loving you . . .
through the years .
